Repurpose old tires for your classroom

Repurpose old tires to create indoor or outdoor small world areas, play areas, or places for exploration in your early childhood settings. 

Indoor:

Cover tires with fabric or burlap to create small world play areas. We like the idea to use round plastic buckets or bowls for the inside.
